🌟✨ Record-Breaking Sale at Saltaire! ✨🌟
The Pitre Collection is thrilled to announce the closing of Penthouse 3502 at Saltaire, marking the highest condo sale of 2024 in Tampa Bay and a historic moment for St. Pete! 🏙️ With a sale price of $8,250,000, this sale also secures its place as the highest condo sale in St. Pete history and the 3rd highest condo sale in Tampa Bay history. 📈 Not to mention, this penthouse boasts the largest outdoor space of any condo in St. Pete!

As a seasoned real estate professional specializing in Downtown St. Pete, I'm proud to have represented the buyer in this transaction, alongside Jacki Fabrizio who listed this stunning property. 🏡💼 Cheers to another successful sale and to many more to come! 🥂

🎉 Making history! Congratulations to Jacki Fabrizio and Christopher Pitre on their monumental achievement with the highest condo sale in St. Pete's history: the $8.25M sale of the Saltaire penthouse.

The sale of the penthouse sets a new benchmark for luxury real estate in St. Petersburg. It is the highest-priced condo sale in the history of St. Pete. The penthouse is also the highest-priced condo sale in the entire Tampa Bay area for this year AND has secured its place as the 3rd highest condo sale in Tampa Bay's history. Smith & Associates represented both sides of the landmark transaction.

Jacki Fabrizio, with Smith and Associates Real Estate, brought this unique property to market in February and successfully closed this iconic residence in three months, along with colleague Chris Pitre, a Realtor with Smith & Associates Real Estate, who represented the buyers.

"Not only is this a top sale, but the penthouse was sold finish-less as a blank slate, with the amenities of Saltaire, the downtown St. Pete location, and the spectacular city and water views being the priority. The new owner has an incredible vision for this residence and will be able to completely customize the home’s interior design," says Fabrizio.

In the end, real estate is still a relationship business built (first and foremost) on trust and I don’t take that lightly when it comes to my clients.

“The company, which claims it allows homeowners to sell their homes more quickly than through a broker, deceived customers into offering their properties to Opendoor for less than they would have made on the market…”

“Opendoor promised to revolutionize the real estate market but built its business using old-fashioned deception about how much consumers could earn from selling their homes on the platform,” said Samuel Levine, director of the F.T.C.’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “There is nothing innovative about cheating consumers.”

The Federal Trade Commission accused Opendoor of deceiving customers into offering their properties to the online platform for less than they would have made on the open market.

If you know Trevor you know that he is a visionary; he’s a serial entrepreneur with a flair for being exceptional. When Trevor and Jon tapped me to assist them with the purchase of this land I was curious to learn what direction they were headed. The answer: denser housing.

Turning a medical office into a 7-unit townhome development on 16th street in St Pete’s Woodlawn neighborhood speaks to their understanding of what the community is in need of. Trevor and Jon believe developing this denser housing along the city’s commercial corridors can help alleviate St. Pete’s housing shortage and I couldn’t agree more.

I’m so proud to have partnered with them on the purchase of this land and I’m excited for what lies ahead!

Congrats TRB Development!

A new townhome community has been proposed for 16th Street in St. Pete’s Greater Woodlawn neighborhood. The project, named Woodlawn Townhomes, will be located one mile north of downtown at 2203 16th Street North. Woodlawn Townhomes is being developed by TRB Development which is owned by Trevor Bu
